  • We explore the earliest collection of magical texts in the ancient world - The Greek Magical Papyri (PGM) and the Egyptian Demotic spells. The PGM is the greatest collection of ancient magic. Written on papyrus these collections of spells, incantations, evocations, represent the rich cross-pollination between various cultures, religious systems, and forms of magic and divination. From Egyptian, Roman, Jewish, Greek cultures and religions emerges an amazing religious and magical syncretism. This video introduces the PGM and discusses a collection of spells including: an invisibility lotion, the invocation of Helios, a rare example of lesbian love magic, a curse for your boss, magical athletic ability, protection from demons, an anger management spell and more. This video is part of a series on books of magic in history - subscribe for future videos!

      @Parzival224 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      ​@@khushwanth0076 I would never try it, not even for curiosity. It is no coincidence that for the success of the rite it is necessary to follow a very complicated - almost "bureaucratic" - procedure that leaves no doubts on the practitioner's will to succeed, such that he cannot then say: "I didn't want to do it, it was just a game!".

      Rule 11 The Basis of Annonimity
      Sworn to Secrecy
      Yes knowing Magic does not make Latin any easier.
      I found a Book, a real one. I had to learn things and still not good at Latin.
      Fortunately I copied a lot of the Book itself before it was destroyed by rain. 3 words on the 2nd page
      Arcanum Esoterica Scientist
      A Warning and a Set of Rules.
      Beautiful drawings hand written notes.
      One the page of the ______ see the force is that which makes difficult to describe an Action when I first found that book.
      Spell on, How to Find Things.
      More like how to make a Metal Detector, with what type of specific Magnet that a person has to go out and find, locate.
      Latin description or any description of some things may remain undecipherable.
      The book gave a description of a stick of wood made into the Rod of St. Dunstan by also attempts to describe is uses.

    Just a friendly suggestion. This type of scholarship and guidance is unusual. There are a lot more positive comment then there are monthly subscribers. I just became a monthly subscriber and would suggest to anyone who has waded in the pond of on line resources for real magick history and practical advice that we really don't want to lose this beautiful voice. Lets try and make it possible for our professor to do this full time. He is such a needed addition to the field.

    I’m pretty sure Egyptian magic consisted of summoning monsters from the shadow realm via duel disks, with which Egyptian magicians dueled each other and also used for warfare. The greatest Egyptian magician was the pharaoh Atem, whose soul was later sealed in the millennium puzzle and currently resides in the body of a Japanese boy named Yugi Motou.

    Okay, as a queer woman myself, hearing about that love spell between two women was REALLY cool. I mean, obviously we have always existed, but so many people like to pretend we just popped into existence some time in the 80s or 90s. Having such clear evidence of a woman expressing romantic or sexual desire for another woman in the ancient world is a great reminder of how wrong they are. Such things seem scarce sometimes, simply because of the emphasis historical writing tends to put on men and THEIR romantic and sexual proclivities.

    • @celiajarvis3168

      The spell says to 'attract' and bind Sarapias to this Herais. Attract and bind the soul and heart of Sarapias to this Herais. It sounds like Sarapias was not interested or had her eye on a boy. Human sexuality. Maybe Herais became heterosexual later on in life. Good old days, when one didn't have to share a bathroom, didn't have to use pronouns or lose a job, get expelled from school.

      Way to force what you heard presented here through your modern gay lens, is that all you took away from this? You know most people have more interesting aspects to themselves than who they like kissing, why must you make this “identity” you claim your entire personality and focus? As you said, it’s quite obvious they’ve always existed so why make something so obvious your focal point? There’s so many more interesting things to take away from this video, uninteresting people tend to be that way though sadly. Please stop forcing your modern lens on a past you clearly don’t understand very well and get a real personality instead of being “queer”(which means abnormal, odd, strange, or eccentric btw which doesn’t make a lick of sense as it’s normal to be gay, you’re rather boring and somewhat ill defined)

    A lot of history is always told in granduer, epic battles, lives of rulers, their decisions, the exploits of the rich and privileged, and while that is all a very important part of history, I am thankfully I found this channel. I am not in any way a believer in any kind of superstition, supernatural magic. That being said, these papyri give us no less than a glimpse into the lives of regular people, their struggles, their wishes. If you stop and think about it, you and me are just living our lives, will people 2000 years from now know how we lived our lives? That we woke up at 7 am, had coffee, browsed the news on our smartphone, caught bus to work, worked for 8 hours, returned home and spent our free time on netflix or video games? Will they know someone else who had a completely different routine?
    Either way, this is not something I ever expected to stumble into and enjoy watching, but your presentation really helps Dr. Sledge.

    I'm totally absorbed into this amazing and priceless information. I have no idea how it came up in my feed but recently I've been experiencing weird things that are unexplainable to me. I have a deep feeling of belonging not sure how to explain it. But I feel linked

    So fascinating!! My studies always come to a crawl whenever I come across anything in Hebrew/Greek/Egyptian, etc., because I don't know the languages and you need to know so many different ones in order to study ancient magic and mysticism properly. 😭 So, thank you for this explainer, thank you for sharing your knowledge, and thank you for the suggestions on further reading and resources!

      You always have time to learn them, and today is always the best time to start! If you are truly interested in fully understanding these subjects, you could take an hour a day to study a new language, you would be surprised how much you learn in a relatively short time.
      Good luck friend

    I love looking up what the ancients occasionally believed would cause change in their world. It proves that ancient people did at least sometimes believe this stuff would actually work. It makes one wonder if ancient rulers banned these works because they were legitimately afraid of them or because they were afraid their citizenry would be hurt by the scammers who wrote them.

    Thank you Dr. Sledge, these studies are excellent! They brilliantly analyze ancient texts, languages and cultures among the Mediterranean people. Could it be possible to have also content of this kind with Nord European areas?
